A review by georges
Donald by Eric Martin, Stephen Elliott

3.0

Weighing in at (barely) 110 pages, the book is more novella than novel. Despite the quick pacing of the plot, Eric Martin does a wonderful job of stoking a slow burn of dread as events play themselves out. Martin captures Rumsfeld's voice well while simultaneously portraying him as very sympathetic, very likable. I finished this book in one sitting and despite being vaguely dissatisfied with the ending I liked it. And I am somewhat disturbed by it as the imprisonment details are based on non-fictional sources.
